above the sky

Chapter 838 Ian is such an inconvenient name! (8200, ask for a monthly pass!)
"I could be Echo, too."

Ian signaled Yisen and Xiou to rest aside first. After he wanted to be alone, he sat next to the body of the dark gold dragon, thinking about this question.

The heat released by the dragon began to gradually decrease, and the scalding boiling water began to cool down again in the ice dragon's nest, and the short-lived turbulent mind of the white-haired boy also gradually calmed down.

"My heart light body guiding star can send various materials and information to myself in parallel time and space."

"Before I die, I can pass on some of my memories, technologies and mental models to the next 'Ian'."

"In a sense, I created my own 'mirror' or 'echo'."

"In this way, a thing worth thinking about appears."

"Am I the last 'ex-Ian' who held the heart light body of 'Guiding Star', the 'mirror' or 'echo' created by transmitting information after failure?"

"As it stands, I do."

"Furthermore, this reincarnation of mirrors and echoes has probably lasted many times."

After sorting out his thoughts, Ian raised his head thoughtfully, and then laughed: "It doesn't matter whether the echo is echoed or not. My psychic power seems to be a bit powerful."

"interesting!"

In just two seconds, it's 'I'm an echo? ! (shocked)''I am the echo... (thoughts)''I am the echo! (smiley thumbs up) transformation.

At this moment, Ian enthusiastically launched his own spiritual energy and mind-light-body observation.

In fact, Ian had long been doubtful about his psychic power and mind light body, and had a hunch about the name 'Echo'.

When he discovered that his "foreseeing horizon" could easily check the possibility and direction of most events without delay, Ian had some doubts, whether there is really such a convenient prophetic power...

Although it is extremely powerful, it is not so much a prophet as a 'harbinger', a déjà vu warning based on 'experience'.

Where prophetic horizons really look like prophets, they are actually 'precognitive dreams'.

The two prophetic illusions of insect nest and spiritual disaster, no matter which one is shown to others alone, is enough to prove their identity as prophets... But Ian can know two, and the probability limit is far more than two.

But this predictive dream may also be a derivative of the ability of "parallel space-time observation".

And the heart light body "Guiding Star" directly incarnates into the parallel space-time Ian platform. Such an outrageous heart light body is too strong even if it does not have any direct combat power.

Of course, Ian at that time did not think that he was "the echo of Ian who was stronger but failed in the parallel world, thrown into other parallel time and space".

He just felt that his ability was a bit too strong, not like the general third energy level.

What really made Ian suspect that he might have something to do with 'Echo' was actually his incomparable and invincible wisdom and talent!

"Recalling carefully, when I was on Earth, I was already considered a young hero. I was invited to participate in the maintenance of colonial rockets just after graduation. The Ministry of Industry, the Federation's real space industry center is also easy to get a job!"

Muttering in his heart, Ian's eyes were sharp: "But even with such achievements, he is only a 'first-rate scholar'. It is the limit to have one or two visible research and development in a lifetime. Distance can create a system and create an era of modern times. There is still a lot of difference between a master and a pioneer."

"Moreover, I was actually very autistic on Earth, a 'loner' who instinctively alienated others and focused on his own career... At that time, I actually hated talking to other people. Although I developed social skills, if If you can’t say it, don’t say it.”

"But in Terra, not only did I become a pioneer, I even had personal relationships at my fingertips, and I could easily capture the favor of others—appearance is indeed important, but in general, I am no longer 'loneled'... "

"On the contrary, I actually like communicating with people now, especially giving pointers to other people. This is a good teacher."

"My character, before and after awakening, has a certain deviation!"

In fact, it's not just wisdom and character. Ian is also sure that his obsession with "high above the sky" is also quite pathological to a certain extent.

yes.On the continent of Terra, the belief is to be firm enough to be "morbid" in the eyes of ordinary people in order to condense the heart light body... But Ian is so firm by nature. If he was on the earth, he would have been regarded as paranoid and sent Went to a psychiatrist for treatment.

Ian on Earth is indeed very close to the danger line, but at least he is a normal person who has passed the test.

Then, here comes the really important question.

"By default, I am the echo. Then, how did the 'Ian' of the previous generation convey information? How much strength is needed to convey information? What information did he convey to me?"

Ian sorted out his thoughts, and he asked and answered one by one: "Of course, rely on the "guiding star" of the heart light body. This is obviously a very rare, even the "only" heart light body, otherwise, the two guides Stars communicate with each other, and the efficiency is faster than searching and trading world by world like I am now."

"Even, I suspect that the 'Guiding Star' is not a simple heart-light body... Its original appearance may not be like this, but a 'multiple heart-light complex' that has been optimized, constructed, and manufactured by Ian's echoes from generation to generation. The result delivered to me through parallel time and space. In other words, it is unique."

"How much strength is needed to transmit information... I am now at the third energy level, and I can probably transmit a paper and some ideas to the past. If converted into memory, it is only a few days...Obviously, the third energy level is not enough, it It doesn't have the basic amount of information to form an 'echo' at all, at least it needs to be 'Ian' at the peak of the fourth energy level or even the fifth energy level, in order to convey enough information flow to form an 'echo'."

"Perhaps, we still need the help of the complete 'Rite of the Star God' and the 'Great Ether Gyre'."

"As for what information the previous generation Ian passed on to me..."

Closing his eyes, Ian thought hard: "I should have forgotten a lot of things. But those are unimportant things."

"Sure enough, this is a barrier to knowledge and vision. If I didn't discover this, no matter how I thought about it, I would never have thought of it."

Raising his hand and staring at his fingers, the white-haired boy muttered to himself: "With my intelligence and the degree of transformation of humans on Earth, I should be able to remember many scattered fragments from the beginning of three months, and then soon It has a memory that is close to that of ordinary people, but it has no ability to analyze its logic."

"In other words, I actually have all the memories of my childhood... Theoretically, even if I wet the bed once when I was eight months old, I can remember the wetness of the bed when I woke up."

"But these memories have disappeared. I only remember some of the most critical fragments - the first time I saw the starry sky, the joy of learning knowledge for the first time, the first time I made up my mind to become a rocket engineer, and the first time I decided to be a rocket engineer." To go to the end of the sky and become a distant star for mankind to open up the frontier..."

"Well. Sure enough, it is impossible for me in the previous life to pass back all the memories. He carefully selected some coherent key memories and used the least amount of information to form the most basic personality."

Thinking of this, Ian shook his head with a smile: "This is also a kind of hypnosis. By intercepting part of the memory, it highlights the important personality, so that my personality can be restored to my most mature and most mature with the fastest speed and the least amount of information. That moment of determination."

"A genius-like perfect design, just like a game that reuses color blocks and real-time calculations. With only a few key memory points, a very clear personality can be produced through the efficient fuzzy interpretation of the human brain①. "

"Ha." As if sensing something, Ian even laughed in his heart: "I even forgot how I died—I just remembered that I was checking the rocket nozzle."

"But even if it was really an accident, and I was turned into ashes by the out-of-control rocket tail flame, I should remember some legacy before death-before the rocket enters the start-up phase, there are several seconds of internal confirmation and adjustment time. , there is no way to skip it."

Apparently, in order not to waste the "amount of information transmitted across parallel time and space" as much as possible, the last "Ian" deleted most of his meaningless earth memories, and only kept the "professional memory" of the earth Ian Key character forming points' and 'beliefs'.

Apart from that, 'Ex-Ian' did not leave any specific practice of the way of sublimation, nor did he leave any explanations and instincts.

In this regard, Ian believes that this should be a "directed spiritual energy awakening technology".

On Terra today, psykers can be artificially created.

This is the case with the experiments of the Institute of the Intellect in Lai'an. They even artificially created a "false prophet" that meets the requirements of the "prophet's relic".

In other words, as long as the purity of belief is guaranteed and the thinking is as consistent as possible, then as long as the experimental subjects are similar enough, they can awaken the same psionic energy, at least roughly similar.

Between Ian, similarity must be absolute similarity.The same person, there is no need to worry about variables in this regard.

The variable, then, lies in the 'extreme desire' aspect.

What the "foreseeing vision" needs may be "a strong desire to know nothing about another world", and there are extremely extreme requirements in terms of "ignorance" and "strong curiosity"...so in order to ensure the future of the next life Since I can awaken the vision of precognition, 'Ex-Ian' simply doesn't put in any information.

This decision, Ian thinks is correct.

Because the ability of 'foreseeing the horizon' is more powerful than any data and truth... As long as he holds it, even if he has no memory of parallel time and space, he can still find the truth of this world.

What's more, because of the difference in different parallel time and space, even if the key information left by the 'former Ian', the more detailed, the greater the possibility of errors.

There is no need to put irrelevant material in such a precious stream of information.

In this way, everything is thought out clearly.

The strength of 'Ex-Ian' was around the fifth energy level, and he encountered a predicament of defeat. Before he died, he used the 'Guiding Star' to integrate his optimized personality model, awakened psionic power and similar heart light The seed of the body was delivered to the 'young' Ian in the parallel time and space.

Although he didn't carry any "innate knowledge about Terra", Ian's "curiosity and firm belief" that he constantly fine-tuned could ensure his growth. After all, even without the blessing of echoes, the original Ian was very Clever, considered a genius, even more powerful with echoes.

Every time the echo is passed, every 'ex-Ian' will fine-tune his own 'mental model', that is, the 'construction of the echo', according to his own failures...

So until now, the current Ian has been clearly different from the Ian of the original earth.

At this moment, in the Ice Dragon's Nest, the boiling water that had melted had already condensed into ice, and the ice layer mixed with some cave impurities was like a mirror, reflecting the face of the white-haired boy with his head bowed in thought.

And when Ian stared at the ice mirror, the face of Bai Zhimin boy seemed to have changed into the appearance of the original black-haired youth.

'Ian of Terra' and 'Ian of Earth' look at each other.

Who is the real Ian?
"All."

Without the slightest hesitation, Ian thought smoothly: "I have made up my mind to transform myself, and I have passed my information to myself in parallel time and space—this is not the same as making up my mind to study hard and transforming my originally lazy self into a diligent one. the difference."

"I am myself in that parallel time and space, and I have no opinion."

"I have reached an agreement with the ex-Ian."

"I am him, and he is me."

The definition of self is never that complicated.

In Ian's view, the so-called self, the so-called free will, is that simple.

——The Ian who lost the future in the past and had to turn himself into an echo and transmit it to other parallel time and space is me.

——The one in the future may also lose the future, and Ian who continues to pass on this echo and send it to the hearts of others is also me.

——As for now, the Ian who is struggling and striving to 'win' is myself, and it is undoubtedly me!
【—Ian is such an inconvenient name! 】

[——The past is full, the future is full, the present is endless, all parallel time and space, all Ian is a part of me! 】

Past and future, all in one!I am me, the only one in all worlds!

Ian felt that there was nothing complicated about this matter at all. People who would be entangled simply did not have enough spiritual realm. Such people could not awaken psionic energy at all, nor could they reach the third energy level.

Not to mention, Ian also saw the corpse of the 'Forerunner' in this pre-epoch heterogeneous research institute.

The other party dismantled and separated himself, and refined the 'star brilliance', 'light body' and 'source soul' to present to future generations... Isn't this a kind of inheritance similar to his passing on the 'echo'?
Such a great entrustment and inheritance, couldn't he, Ian, be able to do it?
Absolutely!

"Every me is me, and all me who walk on this road are me—when I can win once, I can share all the victorious experience with others."

Mumbling to himself like this, Ian already fully understood the heavy responsibility on him, he nodded slightly: "The only problem is that the ability to interfere with parallel time and space is not unique to me."

"The star god can do it... and the demon of the end is unknown at present, but it should not be that powerful."

"Otherwise, as long as the demon of the end interferes, I will not be able to deliver the message..."

"Forget it, if you don't think about it, there's no point in worrying."

"Try to win once!"

The determination is purer and firmer.

His eyes drooped, the white-haired boy stretched out his hand, gently stroked the ice mirror in front of him, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work..."

"I will do my best to end the echoes again and again, and let this time become the last 'reincarnation'!"

The appearance of 'Earth Ian' dissipated and turned back into a white-haired boy.

Ian stood up.

At this moment, he didn't feel that he had a "retreat" because of his ability to "pass the echo to the next life".

The parallel time and space are independent of each other. When he fails, even if he is still alive in other parallel time and space, his world will definitely fall into despair, and all his relatives and friends will fall into the end.

This so-called retreat is actually a kind of helpless compromise, a kind of "sacrifice" to give up the present and leave hope for the future.

'Ian' is not that powerful, he can't defeat powerful enemies in one go, and he can't clear the 'game' in one go.

But he is 'firm' enough.

He is determined enough to 'sacrifice' himself to pave the way for the next 'self'.

This avenue of sacrifice was forged by his own flesh and blood, and Ian walked without hesitation. This is his belief.

Moreover, this time, in Ian's heart... an extremely strong self-confidence was born!

——This time I am special!

Teacher Hilliard, the swarms of the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea, the secrets of the dragon's nest in the territory of Leian, the harvest and connections of the imperial capital, the spiritual disaster and prison star hell in the Avak laboratory, the territory and perfection of the Baisen Mountains The arcane path, meditation method and source quality core, all kinds of technologies that can change the world...

Now, even before he turned 20, he had defeated the last echo and discovered the truth of his psychic abilities and talents!
Everything is the best choice. With the foresight vision and the guiding star, Ian is now on the road of "perfect" in the "reincarnation" again and again!
Look at the other Ian.

Insect nests, spiritual disasters, and even other 'Ian' who may have died long ago...

They all lack the necessary key elements in their development, and they are all worse than themselves.

And I not only passed all the difficulties and obstacles, but also had the 'Spirit of the Sea of ​​Trees' to help me check and make up for omissions, and obtained the elements that I might have missed before.

The most important thing is never experience and technology...

Ian can obtain and develop those things with his own ability.

What is really important is the complete thinking and way of thinking obtained through his own research. This is what the 'former Ian' wants Ian to get.

A kind of 'wisdom'!
"Every battle is very important."

Walking towards Yisen and Xiou, Ian planned to tell his companions who were recovering their strength with their eyes closed and meditating that they had solved the problem.

They can be ready to go.

However, the next moment, the boy found out.

The 'soul of source' that was placed in his arms began to heat up and vibrate.

The kite-shaped 24-hedron, which is about the size of a human fist, exudes a light blue radiance, and was taken out by Ian.

[Core component detected: Soul of Source]

[Status: Intact/Split]

【——Thousands of hearts, unite into one... We become nothingness】

Unlike accepting the body of light, the soul of source was not accepted by Ian the first time it was accepted, but fell into a state of 'downtime' for a period of time.

It was useless for Ian to use the silver chip to connect directly, and there was no way for the Body of Light, it completely stopped for a while.

Ian believes that this may be because the soul of the echo is extremely special. After all, the soul structure of millions of different echoes must be different from that of ordinary life, so it will take a while.

But he didn't expect that this period of time was so short.

"Well?"

When he tentatively used the silver chip to contact the Soul of Source for the second time, Ian saw that the cyan gemstone immediately turned into a group of warm ripples of light and merged into his forehead.

There, is the part wrapped by Ian with a blue turban... It is also where the mark of the 'dead king' is located!
It was at this moment that the original pale dead king's diamond-shaped imprint also began to change under the power of the soul of the source... It became an extremely complicated polyhedron, and the middle of this polyhedron was still the original diamond-shaped imprint.

Immediately afterwards, Ian heard the feedback from the silver chip.

[Detection of giant biological spirit body database...named 'The Last Echo'...analyze/pause/delete]

"……pause."

Of course, it is impossible for Ian to choose to delete, but it is also impossible for him to choose to analyze - the computing power of the silver chip is completely using the computing power of his own soul and brain to analyze the collective memory of 500 million copies and echoes. Not stupid, how could it be possible to do this in today's dangerous situation?
The specific ability of the soul of source will not appear until the analysis is completed and the mark of the former owner is separated... But even if it is passive, it has already given Ian considerable benefits.

That is 'soul materialization'.

"My soul strength... is increasing rapidly!"

At this moment, Ian covered his eyes, but there was still an extremely dazzling blue light like the sun leaking from his fingers, awakening Yisen and Xiou who were meditating.

If the third energy level "fairy" is naturally advanced, its important feature is "soul materialization".

The bodies of the fairies of the third energy level, as well as the sublimation materials, are all made of them after materializing their own souls and combining them with rare materials bit by bit.

In a sense, goblins are the first race in the world to "cultivate themselves and become powerful".It's just because of the life characteristics of goblins, their self-cultivation is very similar to scientific and technological weapons.

Ian felt at this moment that his soul was rapidly attaching to his nerve and source material structure, and a whole set of entity soul network was generated in his body.

This powerful force penetrated his thinking, causing his computing power to increase rapidly, to the point where it was difficult to control.

If Ian hadn't practiced meditation before and had adapted to the high-calculation way of thinking, he might have passed out just now, waiting for the natural transformation of the soul of the source to be over!

But because he had the idea of ​​meditation, Ian just shook his head, then raised his head, and said with emotion: "If I don't have the pioneer authority, ten of me will also be run over by the echo."

"To win this time, I really have to thank the two guys, Gar and Ainar, for severely injuring Echo... Well, the others also have to thank you, let alone Esenxio and you."

He said to the friends who had already stood up, Ethan smiled and shook his head, while Xiou straightened his chest, saying 'Of course! 'The momentum.

"Just now I had a little problem with my mind, light body and prophet's spiritual energy, but I have already solved it."

Ian spoke smoothly, but neither Ethan nor Xiou had any doubts.

Prophets, this kind of psychic holders are more crazy than normal, even if they are normal, they are weird. Basically, all prophets will occasionally fall into madness and madness that ordinary people cannot understand.

Ian just suddenly talked to himself and fell into deep thought, which is considered a very safe anomaly.

——It seems that as Ian's strength becomes stronger, the duration of his abnormal state will also become longer.

Isengard thought of this, and he made up his mind: "I have to pay close attention to Ian and take care of him who is in an abnormal state... Besides, I can't do anything else."

——I feel that Ian has become stronger.As expected of Ian, this person can't use common sense to judge.

This is Xiou's idea, very simple and direct, without any twists and turns.

"What are we going to do next?"

Isengard asked. He saw Ian leading the two towards the 'corpse' of the dark gold dragon, and he couldn't help feeling curious: "Do you want to decompose the material of this dragon? But there are only three of us, and we don't have alchemy equipment. It's very difficult." Refining and taking away."

"I'm going to fight! I haven't seen the body structure of other dragons yet!"

And Xio doesn’t shy away from being a true dragon at all—the true dragons are just the races that humans divide them into. In fact, each true dragon from a different civilization looks like an alien when looking at other true dragons.

"...How is it possible, a good living dragon body, the useful life is still long before the end, why should I disassemble it?"

Ian shook his head. He came to the reverse scale of the dark gold dragon and used the silver chip to link the dragon.

Then, the six eyes lit up, and the body of the dark golden dragon turned around slowly. He prostrated himself on the ground, and opened his mouth to Yisen and Xiou who opened their eyes wide.

"Two."

Ian smiled next to the dragon's mouth, and made a gesture of "please come in": "Please throw yourself into the dragon's mouth——Steel Dragon's stomach is very big, as a cockpit, it can hold the three of us. "

"Let's drive this dragon body together, the safety is absolutely guaranteed!"

"...Wow." After being dazed for a long time, Yisen let out a very mischievous voice and emotion: "Is there still such an operation?"

Then, he immediately became excited: "Okay! I may be the first existence in our Ellen family that can really 'parasitize' a real dragon!"

"Thank you, Ian! My childhood dream came true!"

"I am the prosthetic body driven by the dragon soul." And Xiou began to count: "And now, the prosthetic body driven by my dragon soul will enter the body of the dragon as the co-pilot to drive another dragon... It's a matryoshka!"

"Don't talk nonsense, go in quickly."

Ian clicked his tongue. He found that these two friends of his were getting stronger and stronger under his training, but this was not a bad thing.

Because as long as you follow him, the days to come will definitely become more and more exciting and shocking.

Enter the dragon body and go straight into the stomach sac along the passage. Although it is essentially a 'biochemical reactor', under the transformation of the echo, it has actually become a cockpit located inside the dragon body, with many communication channels. The connection line of the entire dragon body.

Ethan and Xiou are still a bit uncomfortable, but Ian has fully learned it.

"Do you remember, Ethan?"

With the ability to control iron with the 'Abyss Iron Core' out of thin air, and the various metal materials stored in the dragon body, Ian squeezed out several data connection lines with his bare hands. He came behind the blond boy and said with a smile: " Back in the South China Sea, you still helped me connect the armored signal cables.”

"Now it's my turn."

"Now, you are a master in this area." Isengard smiled, and he recalled: "At that time, your body was unimaginably hard, and I couldn't even connect the cable. Now that I think about it, That is, you have exposed your flaws by not moving the strong city... But as long as you don't have that thought in your heart, who would have thought of it?"

"This is the inevitable negligence of human consciousness."

Connecting Yisen to the body of the dragon body, Ian will not really let his friend who knows nothing about how to control the dragon body fight, but he needs Yisen's computing power to help him adjust the energy source in the dragon body. mass flow.

And Xiou is even more so, Ian is not a real dragon after all, he needs the instinct of Xiou, the real dragon soul, to better control the real dragon's body.

He doesn't want to be like Echo, who can control a dragon body intermittently, and can't defend when attacking... He wants to do his best!
Soon, Ian connected the cables for his friends, and Ethan and Xiou also connected them for him-in fact, it was not necessary, Ian's silver chip was enough, but there was no need to refuse.

[Linked to the body of the real dragon... Serial No.: Qiangang Dragon 02]

In the cockpit, the light gradually dimmed, leaving only three pairs of eyes of different colors shimmering.

In Ian's eyes, the cyan light became brighter, and the silver halo lingered around him.

At the same time, the silent dark gold dragon also opened six dragon pupils, deep in the iris of the crimson dragon eyes, there was a silver light flowing like a starry sky.

At this moment, there was another violent shock in the Void Realm. No need to think about it, it was definitely the aftermath of the battle between Yafoda and Campani.

Up to now, the Alien Research Institute is no longer important. For the current Terra civilization, the discord and battle between the fifth energy level in Canaan Moor, the great turmoil called "Half Moon" is the top priority in this world. event.

And for Ian, the same is true... Campani is related to the Dark Moon riot, and perhaps it was God's punishment. Now, he has also become the protagonist who was betrayed by his "own people" in the Half Moon riot.

Killing Campani was one of Ian's goals.

Although the one in the maze is only a soul split, Xiou was able to be used by someone to take away the dragon soul and seal it. Yafoda and others must have been prepared for a long time. Weaken or even severely damage Campani's body.

But not now.

Today, Ian has only one real purpose.

That is, the 'Marrow of the Blazing Hanging Star Dragon', 'Dragon Crystal Storage' and 'Source of Dragon Blood' located in the Keel Square!
"Everyone, go!"

Laughing loudly, the Prophet went through a hard battle, and together with his friends who were also cheering, activated the body of the real dragon!
Then, the dark golden streamer turned into a phantom that penetrated the void and the subspace, and flew towards the original source, the Keel Square!

　① Contra only took more than 200 kb to complete, the main reason is that the Famicom machine is special, and the fuzzy algorithm and brain memory algorithm of the human brain are also very powerful, which can create a very strong identity through self-fiction. Know.

Ian doesn't care about such trivial things as whether the echo echoes or not, all he really cares about is the 'principle'.Everyone can be a 'pioneer' as long as they accept Ian's way of thinking!
